[QUESTION] How do I install the SkiaSharp.DotNet.Interactive kernel extension?

[rdthree]

Hi, I'm pretty new to the .NET aspects of C# and found this extension while trying to figure out how to draw images into the .NET Interactive notebook. It looks so much better than relying on System.Drawing, thanks for publishing it @mattleibow !

This is the only info I found on install extensions. https://github.com/dotnet/interactive/blob/main/samples/extensions/ClockExtension.ipynb

In order to get the extension per the instructions on the ClockExtension notebook, do I need to clone the whole SkiaSharp repo or is there another way?

[mattleibow]

All you need to di is install the SkiaSharp package into interactive and then start using it. It is part of the main package.

got it thanks! I was following the discussion where you first brought it up and thought i had to somehow install the extension.

@mattleibow , out of curiosity are there any docs that show how to use this with .NET Interactive notebooks? I found one way more or less by trial and error. Your work goes a long way to making these notebooks even more useful, much appreciated.
